On a road with one lane each way, car A is parked at the right edge ahead and car B is coming from the opposite direction. Which TWO are the safest actions? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight
- Car A is parked at the right edge ahead
- Car B is approaching from the opposite direction, alongside car A
- Solid double yellow centerline
Next to a parked car, a door may suddenly open or someone may get out, so pass at a speed and in a manner suited to the situation (Article 48(1) of the Road Traffic Act). With car B coming and a solid yellow centerline, remember that your only room to avoid is within your own lane.
Answer: ①, ④
Explanation
When passing a parked car, expect its door to open suddenly or someone to get out: slow down in advance and keep enough side gap within your lane. This follows the duty to drive safely and not at a speed or in a manner unsuited to the road situation (Road Traffic Act Article 48(1)). Car B is coming and the centerline is solid yellow, so swerving across it is not allowed (Article 13(3)); speeding up or honking continuously is also wrong.
